How I became aPhotographerAs a child, I knew that I would be a photographer when I grew up. I studied the art of picture taking at Savannah College of Art and Design and then moved to NYC to work as a photographer. Life happened and I ended up in Charlotte NC about 10 years ago where I had a baby girl of my own and began photographing families and babies here.1

Why I LOVEfamilyPhotographyThere is authenticity in gesture,a realness in expression, and beauty in theLOVE that shines when a family is together.3

myUniqueVisionWith the heart of an artist and soul of a documentary photographer, I combine these two facets when photographing families. To me, the most important part of a portrait is the authenticity of the moment and expression.4

The Best ThingAbout aPictureis that it never changes,even when the people in it do.- Andy Warhol5
